More than GDPR compliance…

The boom in process digitalization, big data and the IoT has spurred an exponential increase in data production. The volume of data worldwide has risen to 15 zettabytes and personal data represents a growing share of that total.

The European Union established the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to protect and safeguard its citizens’ personal data. The organizations are now responsible for ensuring that data is used in a reasonable, transparent way , that it is securely stored and that users have easy access to their data along with the ability to review, modify or delete personal information.

Our mission has always been to protect people, along with their goods and their data, by securing their identity and access while enabling the easy , secure supervision of industrial processes and the flow of resources and assets. For more than 20 years, our development policy has been based on open technology and public-key cryptography standards, ensuring that all of our products and solutions comply with current GDPR requirements in complete transparency.

Helpful info

Why is it important for companies to comply with the GDPR?

Companies are collecting and processing personal data on an increasingly massive scale. Numerous cases of harmful disclosure have made headlines worldwide, with serious adverse consequences for those involved. It is important for all of us to be able to manage our data security and be assured that our data is protected. The European Union adopted the GDPR for just that purpose. Companies that fail to comply with its provisions can pay a heavy price, including fines of up to 4% of their annual global revenue.
